differential carrier bearing pre-load
still rebuilding my 915 tranny and am using peter z's wiki.
i have NOT replaced my differential carrier bearings yet. when i measure preload as per wiki info...i get nothing, nada, 0. the trans axle flange spins freely. so i plan on replacing the carrier bearings, but here's the question... am i likely to need new flange shims too? or will replacing the carrier bearings tighten it up enough? thanks

anyone?
i also notice that there are no shims installed on either side.
is this usual? there is evidence of a prior tranny rebuild. the car was not running on purchase, so i cannot comment about differential status, ie noises or whine.
